How to remove bonnet scoop?

Hi all,

I want to buy the carbon fiber bonnet scoop and to find out how to remove and install it. I know Moss and Mini Mania sells the scoop. Which one is better?

Thx in advance.

There are only 4 nuts that hold this piece on the car, 2 are 8mm and 2 are 10 mm. they are pretty obvious and shouldn't be a problem to find. The smaller ones are located in the square cutout areas on the underside of the hood.

Or you could do like I did and drive around for 3 months, wash the car one day and find the whole thing loose, open the bonnet and see that 2 nuts had fallen off and the other 2 were almost there.

As for which one is best, I've seen neither so I can't help you there.

Good luck

I'm also interested in getting a carbon fibre scoop and would like to know which one comes best recommended!

Is there anyone out there who has fitted one of these scoops?
